I will preface this by saying I am new at breads, and new at my stand mixer. I would call this a rather "involved" recipe that didn't turn out how I expected it to. I was looking for "lighter than air" or fluffy sandwich rolls. I followed recipe to the letter. While good, they are heavier than I would like. Unfortunately Allrecipes doesn't allow feedback for where I may have mis-stepped. I will stick to other forums for complex recipes and keep Allrecipes for the simple. I am probably to blame for lack of success!!

I too added beer, Negro Modelo which is what I had (reminded me of Carlos Murphy's, an Irish Mexican pub in my home town) Garlic and onions are the only other additions I made. I also hate picking out the mustard seeds and peppercorns, so I wrapped them in a coffee filter. (a package of cheesecloth was $5 at the grocery store!) Curious about the julienned carrots Laria, don't those disappear? I cooked mine whole. Great recipe! I never could get it right before. Always rubbery :( Thanks!
